I think it was Randy Peterson, during one of his chats, said we were recruiting a 7ft post player. Not Pelle. Anyone know anything?

I am sure our coaches searching every gym, park, driveway, and African soccer pitch for a 7-footer that can play the style they want to play. We could really use a shot blocker.

Blaise Mbargorba committed to SMU (along with brian Bernardi) but they canned their coach - so maybe he will re-open his recruitment, and maybe we'll get back involved in it.

That's pure speculation, btw.

Really good documentary about how some of these players make it to the US. Features Assane Sene who plays for Virginia and Aziz N'Diaye who plays for Washington.

It's gotta be Pelle. Still happy with this year, but look at next years lineup if Pelle comes (though it's still solid without him)

Lucious - great ball handler, passer, and finisher
Babb - lockdown defender
Clyburn - One of the top shooters in the nation and able to make the play as well
White - Duh, everything.
Pelle - Anything down low he will make or block

Randy Peterson said it wasn't Pelle.

And that lineup looks pretty good, but it scares me where the points are going to come from? I think we need a shooting guard in that lineup.

I'll going to assume Pelle is looking for the best $chool to play for. Im also going to assume we dont offer that kind of $cholly.

hiawatha, ia
Bench would be solid
Ejim
Niang
Walker
Okro
Booker
Bubu
Gibson
McGee

That would probably be the best bench in the country! Hell they could make up a starting lineup that would be competitive

If we're having trouble scoring, just put in McGee for Babb or Gibson/Niang for Pelle. Bam

You're concerned with points with that line up?????

We would have two guys that can create their own shot versus 1, this season. Plus you have a true PG that can initiate our offense and also get us down the court in a faster tempo.

Not to mention Babb can get out of his slump, along with McGee and SDW as outside shooting threats (Clyburn can shoot the 3 ball too).

Plus alley-oop dunks and dishes from Royce to Pelle.

Points would not be an issue with that line up.

If we somehow pull off keeping Royce and signing Pelle, I invision something similar to Draymond Green and his oops to the Michigan State centers. :jiggy:
